1. Electronic Arts uses the WinCairo/Cairo backend as the basis for their port, 
though I’m not sure how closely it follows the upstream sources. I believe they 
do use Cairo for drawing, but do not use the Linux or Windows-specific WebKit 
code paths.

They seem pretty quiet on the list lately, though they are on the 
webkit-security list and seem to respond to notes on that list.

I think Alex knows of at least one other user out there.

@annulen I know you've mentioned conan.io before but I've never personally used 
it so I'm not sure how well it would fit with everything. It's something we can 
take a look at beforehand and see what it would take vs the single repository 
setup.

@alexchristensen I can make a GitHub org  push the repository to it and then 
start using GitHub releases to host the final binary.

Do either of you know of anyone who is shipping a product based on WinCairo 
though?

conan.io allows to build everything from sources as well

It is quite nice to be able to build everything completely from source in one 
place.  This allows Windows software distributors to have more control over 
PlatformToolsets to reduce the need for distributing multiple merge modules.  
Some companies also have policies that they can only distribute software that 
they built completely from source.

It may make sense to use conan.io to fetch dependencies. There are ready to use 
packages for ICU, libpng, libjpeg-turbo, openssl, libcurl, sqlite. At least 
this approach allow to decentralize maintenance and compilation of binaries for 
each individual library.

Right now https://github.com/peavo/WinCairoRequirements 
 is the best maintained 
repository containing all the requirements, even if Per isn’t maintaining it 
any more.  If you fork it and add fixes, then yours would become the best 
maintained repository of those requirements.  I think it would be great if you 
did this.

[webkit-dev] WinCairo Maintainers

[Olmstead, Don]

I was wondering who was in charge of WinCairo now. We at Sony have been using 
WinCairo to land anything that isn't specific to our own internal port but we 
don't have any intention to ship anything using it.

We have some outstanding patches for the GitHub requirements repository, 
https://github.com/peavo/WinCairoRequirements, that perarne was running but he 
informed me that he will not be maintaining it going forward. I was thinking 
about making a WinCairo org on GitHub and then pushing the contents of that 
repo to it but I wanted to ask beforehand.
